Walker never has to worry about health care or term limits.

Scott Walker has raised a family on the taxpayer dime. Those same taxpayers also never had a problem paying for Walker's free health care while they had to struggle with rising premiums, larger contributions at work, or preexisting conditions.

And while Walker talked about backing term limits, he was always above all that. jsonline:

Scott Walker pushes term limits, but broke pledge as county
exec: At a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire last week, Gov.
Scott Walkercalled for 12-year term limits for the U.S. House, Senate and
federal judiciary. And he took credit for limiting his own terms during his
22-year political career."I've self-imposed them myself. I've never been in an
elected position more than 10 years," said Walker … But in 2008, Walker
failed to keep a term-limit pledge of his own when he sought a second full term
as county executive.

Of course as a career politician who’s always running for
something, he made a
convincing case for giving the boot to lingering politicians:

"I am open to a run for a full term in 2004, but will
not run beyond that term." "People start looking over their shoulders
instead of looking ahead...we need to think more about the next generation than
we do about the next election. The longer people serve it's just human nature,
the more you start worrying about the next election more than you do about the
next generation," Walker said in New Hampshire.

Ever get the idea Walker has his own designs on changing the
Constitution, "dropping the bomb" on that someday:

He told his audience he supported federal term limits even
though it would require amending the U.S. Constitution.

What would a 12 year term limit mean to Rep. James
Sensenbrenner’s 37 years career, or Paul Ryan’s 17. It’d be kind of nice not having them around.

Jim Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls said, "Term limits
take away the right of voters to re-elect the representatives they choose.
Effective leadership does not have an expiration date."

One Man's Challenge to a Party Bent on Destruction

Politics: Just a guy tired of "compromising." Stop encouraging Republicans when it comes to their failed ideology.
I was once a liberal radio talk host. Played co-host to Vicki McKenna, a complete liar who can't can't stop filling the airwaves with mindless babble.
I'm someone who enjoys the the painful smiles of conservatives as they struggle to deny the avalanche of facts tumbling their way. They seem preoccupied with spelling and grammar.
Real Estate: I also hosted a real estate radio show.
